How to get ketosis quickly in 24 hours with just 6 steps

How Do I Know if I’m in Ketosis?

There are many ways to know if you’re already in ketosis. You can use different instruments to check your ketone level or look for the symptoms associated with the process.

1) Using a Ketone Blood Meter

Arguably the best and most accurate way to check if you’re in ketosis or not is through blood testing. It works by looking at the beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) ketone in your blood. There are other types of ketones such as acetoacetate and acetone, but BHB is the most prominent one in your body.

To conduct a ketone blood test, you need to have the indicator strips and the device. Thus, it’s not exactly the cheapest option. Likewise, not everyone would be okay with having to prick a finger every time they need to check their ketosis level.

2) Using Urine Strips

If you’re looking to check your ketosis level in a more affordable way, this is for you. While it does not provide results as accurate as blood meters, a urine strip would be easier to find in your area.
